bump

[Terriergal]

ah I see. I guess it didn’t strike me as funny because I’ve heard the phrase so often and it is SO TRUE.

[Terriergal]

LOL careful or Abanes will try to sue Freeepublic!

I do believe Abanes is married btw. Thought I heard that somewhere.

[Terriergal]

the website is now back up on a new host, a CHRISTIAN isp, including the three year old article which suddenly Richard has taken issue with.

A PASTOR’S ASSESSMENT OF RICHARD ABANES
http://www.apprising.org/archives/2005/09/a_pastors_asses.html

[Terriergal]

Silva moved the whole site and archives to a new host. The original article is back up at the original URL (see my post above to xzins).

So far I am reading nothing but opinion, I don’t see anything that constitutes libel and defamation, certainly nothing different than what Richard himself engages in (argumentation, either good or faulty).

[Terriergal]

So this person threatened to sue a fellow Christian in a Court of Law? Hmm...my Bible suggests that such disputes are to handled in House and be adjudicated by Christians, not some man in a woman's robe...

Well through the Magical method of Scripture twisting taught in PDL and in Rick Warren's sermons each week, Richard can ignore that passage.

[Terriergal]

I think R Abanes has his work cut out for him if he wants to sue everyone who disagrees with him! lol

[Terriergal]

I can’t remember the last time I heard Rick Warren utter the word “Christ”. Who is his God? Rick Warren?

OH he does it once in a while -- Jesus died for you for some reason or other, so you can have a purpose driven life.

[Terriergal]

To "reach out" to the gay activist and entertainment community for their dollars?

Careful or you'll get JimRob in trouble with Abanes.

[Terriergal]

If the author of the blog had some harsh things to say about Abanes and Warren, then he certainly was not slandering CHRISTIANS.

Bada bing!

[Terriergal]

Ken has the site back up on a new host (same URL). I guess the old host (-Power) didn’t want that monthly $$ anymore.

EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THAT IF YOU WANT FREE SPEECH DO NOT USE I-POWER

[TommyDale]

I have withstood attacks by $cientologists and the “purpose driven” people... all I did was ask the question. I didn’t say it was fact.

[raynearhood]

Oh, I don’t doubt that he is married. Although none of the “biographies” I’ve read about him mention a family, I assume he has a wife and kids. It’s either that or he’s seriously presumptuous, having written a book on parenting and video games.

That doesn’t mean he isn’t pandering.

BTW, I should maybe let the Mod know, if Abanes does sue I take full responsibility for my statement.

[Blogger]

you have evidentally not been forced to leave a purpose driven church

[GOPPachyderm]

Wow. That’s certainly a new definition of free speech.

Anyone who actually practices discernment (as Paul directed the Bereans to do) should be silenced. And anyone who brings attention to false teachings the Bible warns about not allowed to speak.

Yup, I’m speechless at your analysis of the situation.

[Terriergal]

heh heh. Well OK.

[Terriergal]

I know that... :-)

[xzins]

Thanks, terrier, but I don’t see the article.

[raynearhood]

BTW, good “About” page. I like the “Just War” article at the beginning. Nice buck you bagged in the picture on you home page. Kudos.

God Bless.

I, of course, support free speech. But when it crosses into slander/libel, of course I’m against it. This person may have crossed over into libel with his website.

I’ve looked at instances of other Christians that he’s attacked, and he’s got a track record of being, to put it frank, a pompous jerk. I think he just may have just gone too far.

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is sometimes true. In this case, it’s two off-track individuals fighting against each other. The founder of this website is not my “friend,” though I distain the doctrines of **some** of those he attacks.
